The first teaser trailer for Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red's upcoming futuristic RPG, was released earlier today, and it looks fantastic. Even though it's entirely CG, it really provides a great idea of what the game could ultimately be like, and the developers revealed some key world details as well.

But that's not all that the trailer revealed—some redditors, geniuses that they are, uncovered a hidden message in a frame of the video, and it goes like this:

Do you like our latest creation? We certainly hope so! :) You may remember that we sometimes send you guys secret messages like this. it’s a great way for us to speak right to you instead of burying ourselves in corporate mumbo-jumbo. So let’s begin!

Well shit. So we're guessing—as are you, probably—that the game they're talking about revealing on Feb. 5 is The Witcher 3. With that hint it's hard to think otherwise. And if Cyberpunk 2077 is coming out in 2015 (or possibly later) then it's pretty much definitely going to be a next-gen title (unless it's a PC exclusive, but judging by the console love that The Witcher 2 received we would be surprised).

What do you think of the hidden message? Are there any more clues in there that we missed?
